He added he was concerned for his family's safety, writing: 'For all we know @nswpolice this bloke could be driving the streets looking for us. Smallish community here.. he knows roughly our location.'

Stephen says police arrived at his home that night to take his details, but claimed they would be unable to deal with the incident for at least a fortnight.

Stephen vented his frustration in another tweet, writing: 'Question for @nswpolice .. why does threatening and attacking someone with a car not warrant same response as if it was a knife or a gun?'

A spokesperson from NSW police told Daily Mail Australia ‘police advised the driver to leave the area as they were concerned for their safety. They later met with the driver at their home address.'
